Was a really pleasant stay despite the weather. We even invited to feed the alpacas which was lovely. Hot tub was perfect and instructions for use clear.

Fitted out and decorated to a really high standard, it was the perfect romantic getaway and we had rebooked within hours of leaving. The only minor drawback was we didnât have mobile phone receptionâ¦(although of course there is great WiFi) but some might think that is a positive advantage!!!!!
